Discounts for Youth Trainees
If one or more of the occupants of a property is a Youth
Training trainee, a 25% discount may apply because he/she is
classed as not counted for Council Tax purposes. The discount is
50% if all the occupants are Youth Training trainees.
No discount applies if two or more people other than the trainee
(or anyone else who is not counted) live in the property.
If a person is a Youth Training trainee what are the conditions
for not being counted?
A person will be disregarded for the purposes
of Council Tax if on a particular day they are under the age
of 25 and following an individual training plan under
section two of the Employment and Training Act 1973, funded by
the Learning and Skills Council for England.
If you feel that an individual in your
household fulfils the above criteria, please complete the Youth
Training Council Tax Discount form.
